Benefits of the Dining Plan
NO TAX: Your Dining Plan provides you access to nutritionally healthy tax-exempt prepared meals at participating Meal Plan and Meal Plan Plus locations on campus.
CONVENIENCE: Your Dining Plan is accepted at a wide variety of locations across our campuses, some of which offer extended hours of operation to meet your needs.
ON-SITE DIETITIAN: Dining Plan members have access to individual nutrition counselling with York’s Registered Dietitian at no extra cost because we recognize that nutrition plays a key role in student’s mental and physical health, and academic performance. Counselling can cover topics such as campus menu and food options, food allergies, eating on a budget, healthy eating, and medical conditions. Book now!

Dining Plan funds are separated into two accounts: Meal Plan and Meal Plan Plus. Funds in the Meal Plan Plus account can be spent at all locations that accept the Dining Plan as a form of payment, however funds in the Meal Plan account can only be used in specific locations, as shown on the Dining Plan locations map.
For example, Meal Plan funds can be spent at dining locations in Central Square, but not at locations in York Lanes; whereas Meal Plan Plus funds can be spent at dining locations in both Central Square and York Lanes.
Convenience Dining Plans are available to York Students who do not live in a York Residence where a Dining Plan is mandatory, and who want to enjoy the benefits of a Dining Plan. To add this plan to your YU-card, contact yucard@yorku.ca or visit YU-card Office at WSC222.
Meal Plan and Meal Plan Plus dollars are loaded onto your YU-card, which is subject to the YU-card Holder’s Agreement.
The Capital Enhancement Fee is a non-refundable amount used to enhance dining environments, facilities and equipment.
